Hi,
Is there a way to format fields into currency, percentage and dates using vba? I have a table that have 3 fields:
Cost, Percentage and Date of Purchase.
right now, those fields are showing just numbers but i would like to format them as mentioned above. Table name is called MainTable. thanks for the help.

Sounds like you haven't designed your table with the correct data types for the fields.
Correct this, and the data will display correctly with the default format of your Windows.

How could we know? But that explains.
If so, create a simple select query where you use the imported table as source and wrap the fields with CDate, CCur and CDbl:
Select
CDate([YourDateField]) AS YourDate,
CCur([YourCurrencyField]) As YourAmount,
<.. etc.>
From
tblYourImportTable
Percentage is nothing more that a decimal number.
Then use this query as source for your further tasks.
